How to Host the Perfect Galentine’s Movie Night

Hey Guys,

If you have been following the blog for a while, you would know I have a thing for Galentine’s parties. Last year, Kelly and I hosted a Galentine’s Day Tea Party which turned out to be epic, if I do say so myself. This year we wanted to do something a little more relaxed, and that’s when it dawned on me that a movie night would be perfect.
The girls would wear their pjs; that way everybody would be cozy and not have to stress about what to wear. Movie food would be simple: popcorn, pizza and sweets…. Done! No stressing over the menu. All that was left was the décor, so I headed to my favorite inspiration website (pinterest) and put together a mood board, made a list and bought the stuff we needed.

Steps for hosting:

1. Invitation – Decide on whom to invite. Send out invitations 2-3 weeks in advance and remember to set an RSVP date. Don’t forget to send out a reminder email the week before.

2. Décor – Don’t forget to add décor pieces to bring your idea to life. For example we used a red carpet, popcorn boxes, movie marquee drawn on a chalkboard. It’s all about the little details.

3. Plan menu – It’s a movie night so popcorn is a must! Add any other foods or treats you think you and your guests would enjoy.

4. Snack boxes – Put together concession snack boxes with treats.

5. Games – Pick up 1 or 2 simple games you can do with your guests before the movie (we did a scratch and win)

6. Pick a movie

7. Enjoy!

This party is super easy for you and your gal pals to recreate this Galentine’s Day!
